Is it worth getting the SoJ DLC case?

Yay! It's been ages since I've played that one. It'd be neat to play it again with (I assume) the same updated graphics they gave to the eShop original trilogy.

It's kind of an "all-star" case where they push the nostalgia hard. If that appeals to you, get it. I enjoyed the case, but I didn't think it was nearly as good as the DLC case for Dual Destinies.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Yeah basically how much do you want to see Phoenix and Edgeworth on opposite sides of the courtroom again? That's the main reason to grab the SoJ DLC.

The DLC case was... Alright. It wasn't super great, and I thought the defendant was annoying and gross, but there's a character that better fits that time I thought was pretty good.

It's likely the 3DS AJ will have the same graphics as the recent mobile release, which are similarly traced sprites, but I think they look worlds better than the Trilogy, possibly due to the original art style having a bit higher res.

E: Actually clicked the link and yeah, same graphics, some bad compression on the screenshots but it looks good.

SoJ's DLC does have some fairly funny moments, but overall... yeah, it's not the best case of the game like DD's was.

Also, does anyone else hate Mask deMasque as much as I do? I feel like, in general, I have a tendency to hate all the wrong characters (Trucy, Datz Are'bal, etc.).

Maybe I should just stick to characters I really liked. Dahlia Hawthorne and Morgan Fey owned.

edit: also Amaya or whatever her name was, the one whose son was the white-haired dude who looked like Libra from Fire Emblem Awakening

I legit didn't enjoy much of JfA, just most cases didn't do it for me and the 2-4's gimmick, while interesting, was not something I enjoyed playing. Mask deMasque instantly made me fall in love with the franchise again.

I'm not going to lie -- I still am not entirely sure what happened in that last case. After a while I was just kind of pressing everything and hoping that maybe the weather report would bail me out.

...what.

Mask deMasque was loving awful, and his hair was stupid. His wife was way too good for him, and I wish the case would have somehow revolved around her instead.

My problem with AA3 is that 3-2 and 3-3 just get in the way of the juicy Hawthorne/Fey drama I was playing for in the first place.

I legit got bored and stopped during 3-2 several times before managing to finish T&T. It didn't help that I kept starting from the beginning so I could remember what I was even doing, but still.

I never liked Ema, but in all fairness, I think I disliked her mostly because she wasn't Maya. I need to replay whichever game/s she was in.

Ema is good in 1-5, bad in Apollo Justice, good in Spirit of Justice.

Apollo Justice is kind of an important part of Ema's arc across the games, so it's weird to say she's bad in it.

Yup, in any other game it would be the obligatory throwaway Case 3/4.

Grumpy Ema is good because she is actually still pretty nice and gets along well with the defence. She just hates her job which is relatable imo.

Ema rules and I chose to believe Gumshoe is still alive and doing a bad job due to Edgeworth and Wright's chat about Edgeworth's past as an investigator and the inside source whose pay Edgeworth can cut is Gumshoe.

After getting a pay raise in AAI2, Gumshoe spent all his newfound earnings on lottery tickets and subsequently died of starvation.

Gumshoe is now Chief of leaking documents to the defense attorney, and as such he no longer has time to investigate specific cases.

He and Edgeworth do 3 for 1 drink night at the book store as its the only way Edgeworth can convince people to hang out with him and its the only way Gumshoe can afford drinks.
